Also obamanomo I understand your frustration but maybe you could use that energy and effort from being angry to help with finding solutions. There's lots of angry people out there but who's going to the table to find solutions. The police even need a strategy for the crime that's taking place. Let's face it, racism will exist as long there are people that continue to teach it to others. Once the mindset of a people changes then that's when you will see change!

Well I'm not a religious waco but I do believe and trust in God! Also we must stop blaming God for everything. He has given us all free will whether you believe He exists or not. This is the ability we all possess. That is, the ability to take another human life! If God came in and stopped everything WE did then that's not free will. That's called control. Not trying to convert or convince anybody but I'm just as sick of these killings as the next person. We all won't agree about God and if exists or not, but we can all agree that the killings must stop! I don't mean to make this a religious issue because that would be selfish of me and if I have I do apologize. It's about the SLAUGHTER of this beautiful baby girl who we have no clue of the gifts and talents she could have given to society.

Evil! What's sad is the one who did this may have just eliminated the one who would have brought about the cure for cancer, AIDS, etc.! This could have been the one who made it safer for other children. This could have been the next great scientist or brilliant mind to help solve problems but we will never know because this precious little life ended after 3months! God help us all!

The problem is not New Orleans or New Orleans east in a geographical sense, the problem we have and have always had is how can we change the mindset of our people. I'm a New Orleans native and grew up in New Orleans East. I'm not going to blame anybody or the government. It's not about race either. It's about people's mindset. I don't have any solutions at the moment but I know it will take all of us to solve it. The culture we now live in continues to degenerate around us daily. Unfortunately killing someone and going to jail is some sort of badge of honor. New Orleans is an awesome place and city to live and visit. My prayers are with the family of this brother who was murdered! It's a shame and it has to stop! But my words don't matter and i'm not important. As a father I have to raise my three sons with character and integrity and to respect others. I don't want them waiting on the government or any assistance if I teach them correctly right now while they're young. You can keep the racism, hatred, and prejudices. There's no way to stop people's learned behaviours. The only thing I can do is teach my kids otherwise and how to rise above it with class because at the end of the day the choice is up to them. Hopefully they chose wisely! I teach them how to think for themselves and not let other people or their opinions sway them one way or the other. I'm responsible for my kids until they are old enough to be on their own. Too many people passing the blame and not being accountable. The problem either starts at home or its solved at home!

@pleasehelpnola, your post sounds like you had a bad experience with black people and just haven't gotten over it yet. Not sure what black communities you've been around but there are many that are doing great things for not only black kids but white, latino, asian etc. Maybe you should get out more and see the big picture. I have lots of friends who are of different races and we all have many things to offer one another. Also you can't label any one race based off of a couple of bad experiences or what you hear through media outlets. One of the greatest moments I will never forget is a game in the Super Dome against the defending Super Bowl Champion Giants in 1987. I was 13 and was able to save up enough money to get a ticket. During the game this fat mean white guy who was a Giants fan looked at me and told me he was going to kick my a--! You know who jumped to this little black kids defense? A bunch of awesome WHO DAT fans who just happened to be white! They threw pop corn at him and ice etc. They hugged me and told him some choice words as well. So I could either say all white people are mean or the people that came to my defense were how people really are. My point is there's problems in every race. Should I be afraid of a white guy who's bald? Because according to you that tells me a lot about him. What you fail to understand is there are racist in the suits and ties and they are educated. There are blacks who are racist that wear suits and ties and are educated. Why don't you try to come up with solutions and help instead of sitting on the sideline talking about whats wrong.
